PONSTAN can help you in many ways than one
Body Pain
Ponstan, containing mefenamic acid, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve various types of body pain. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. This makes it effective for treating moderate to severe pain, including headaches, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps.
Joint Pain
Joint pain can significantly impact daily activities. Ponstan helps manage joint pain by reducing inflammation and providing pain relief. Its action on prostaglandins helps decrease the pain and swelling in the joints, making it easier for individuals to move and perform daily tasks.
Muscle Pain
Muscle pain, often resulting from overuse, tension, or minor injuries, can be effectively managed with Ponstan. The anti-inflammatory properties of mefenamic acid help reduce swelling and alleviate pain by blocking the enzymes responsible for prostaglandin production. This makes it suitable for treating muscle strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal injuries.
Tooth Pain
Often caused by dental issues such as cavities or gum disease, can be quite debilitating. Ponstan is effective in relieving dental pain due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, it helps alleviate the pain and inflammation associated with dental problems.
Menstrual pain
Otherwise known as dysmenorrhea, is a common issue for many women. Ponstan is particularly effective in treating menstrual cramps by reducing the levels of prostaglandins in the uterus, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation during menstruation. This helps in providing significant relief from menstrual cramps and associated discomfort.
